Very slow starting Firefox and Thunderbird.

David Cattermole

After Firefox & Thunderbird update & Windows (11) update, it takes ages for the email programs to open and the web pages to open. Tried everything, to no avail. Any ideas apart from uninstalling and starting again? The imap lookup takes ages and when opening website pages it takes ages. Googles is very quick to open.

Hi,

You can try running Firefox (and Thunderbird as well) in Troubleshoot Mode and see if the issue persists there.
